I don't mind sports - but baseball isn't my thing - give me football or auto racing anyday and I could watch 24/7 - baseball bores me to tears usually.

This is the second article I see that they refer to Nick as (MTV's Newlyweds) and not from 98 Degrees.

That's because right now Newlyweds is more famous because 98 Degrees is on a break. It's more practical for them to say Nelyweds, and it is his show. But yeah Im a Red Sox fan lol.
